Ffolkes,

Warm winter’s welcome, London Style
Hajime….. Oddly enough, I once again have nothing. Rather than re-blog old material, I’ll merely give you what I do have done, and, be done with it for today. I’m not sure what’s going on, but, I seem to have misplaced my muse… I’ll look around today, & see what’s up with that; I doubt seriously reality will worry too much about my absence, just like it ignores me in general. Leelu will be happy, too, as it will free up more time for her…. Cat bonus!
Who knows what the future may bring. I don’t, but, I know what was in the past, and that’s what you’ll get today. One nine-star old-school pearl, naked, as they most often are these days. Skin is good. But, I digress, and must be off, into the Big Blue Room, to do battle with the forces of reality…. Or not, as I prefer to slip through without disturbing the Force. We’ll see how that goes. For now, let’s do this, before it gets any later….
Shall we Pearl?….
“It is easier to perceive error than to find truth, for the former lies on the surface and is easily seen, while the latter lies in the depth, where few are willing to search for it.” — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountain
There’s more than one answer to these questions
pointing me in a crooked line.
The less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine.

There you have it; one Pearl, delivered, as promised, in good condition. Well, such as it is. See y’all tomorrow, ffolkes. That’s my intent, and, though I shan’t give a promise, you may count on it….. Ta, then….
and May the Metaphorse be with you;
Blessed Be, dearest Carole, Mark,Theresa, & Richy
and everyone else, too…
When I works, I works hard.
When I sits, I sits loose.
When I thinks, I falls asleep.
Which is Why….
Sometimes I sits and thinks,
and sometimes,
I just sits.

À bientôt, mon cherí….
gigoid 
Well.. in this one.. “Assembled Without Instructions” is inspiration
enough for me to write a Novel.. but that’s not coming ’till around
April.. for the third installment of that..
but yes.. how sad it is that human
beings are Assembled With
Instructions.. as the rest of
Nature innately.. instinctually..
and intuitively practices life
free without sidewalks
of hell
binding
them down
to concrete purgatories
of what came before..
stick to the
rules robot
or you’ll
get in
social acceptance
trouble and that means
starvation.. no mates
and stuff like
that as
social
animals innately..
need each other to
get the meat
and vegetables
of life.. all in one
soup of life
a cross
a fire..
anyway.. it’s said
when folks become
paperback books.. or hard
covers too.. but pearls
of wisdom.. i’ll take
that pARt by
mouth
or
book.. as some
stuff is truly worth
reading again and again,,
the gift of all the historic pearls
of wisdom you provide here.. my
friend gigoid.. in ways of life..
not just
nouns
and labels
for men to worship
and say they have the
last word of the God of
Mother Nature true and liGht now..
as well as dArk and fAiry tales too..
but alas myths are the hyperbole..
to market the meat
of the products
and without
that.. it would
be harder to
get the vehicles
and vessels that house
truth and liGht that have traveled
this far.. in written and oral tradition
of story taling.. dArk and liGht WhOLE..
Anyway.. yes.. may the metaphorse
be with ya.. friend gigoid.. as long
as it rides
free.. iN
ALLNOW..
wITh Love and
KiND In couraGe..
like Cindafella might say..;)
